Introducing University of Delaware's STAR Campus
Featured Speaker: Michael Smith, Director of Strategic Initiatives
The University of Delaware has set the stage for the Science, Technology and Advanced Research Campus (STAR Campus) to be a center of innovation that will continue to evolve over the next half a century. The site's activities and tenants focus on science, technology, engineering and clinical practice in areas ranging from biomedicine and biotechnology to alternative energy and environmental sustainability.
In 2014, the Health Sciences Complex opened on the Star Campus, and UD's College of Health Sciences is the first tenant to occupy the renovated building - not only providing the front door to the site but also setting the stage for the campus as a vibrant, healthy community by design. The facility is fostering community connections, interprofessional training of healthcare professionals, and collaborative research between faculty and clinicians. The first building houses the Nurse Managed Health Center and the Delaware Physical Therapy Clinic, both of which are open tot he public. To visit the website, click here.
Michael Smith is the Director for Strategic Initiatives and cultivates key partnerships for the College of Health Sciences to broaden its impact, enhance the visibility of the College and the Health Sciences Complex, assist with strategic planning and then translate that strategy into action, and align resources to accomplish key initiatives. Michael's experience includes the Greater Newark Economic Development Partnership. Prior to that, Michael worked for former Congressman Mike Castle as Campaign Manager during his 2008 re-election, Finance Director and managed constituent services. Michael is very connected to the community serving on the board of the Newark Senior Center, Founder and Chairman of Pike Creek Charter Middle School, President of the Delaware Young Republicans and a member of the New Castle County Chamber's Government Affairs Committee.
